Hawarden Rural District Council, Flintshire, was created under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1894 and included the parishes of East Saltney, Hawarden, Higher Kinnerton, Hope, Llanfynydd, Sealand, Treuddyn and West Saltney. The council comprised councillors and a chairman, elected for three years. They originally took over responsibility for local sanitation from the local sanitary authorities and their responsibilities included sanitary services, sewerage, refuse collection, maintaining local roads, cemeteries, parks, and licensing of public entertainments, water supply and later housing. Rural District Councils were administered by a number of committees and by appointed officers including a Clerk, Treasurer, Medical Officer of Health, Surveyor and Rating Officer. Hawarden Rural District Council was abolished in 1974 following local government reorganisation, being absorbed into Alyn and Deeside District Council and Wrexham Maelor Borough Council.
